Ok after spending the morning playing Mr mom to the soccer rats the young bloke and myself went north to check out what was happening up at Dairyville,(I didnt compete as mummy was away and the loyal manslave had to be soccerdad for the morning).
I met the leader of the Tamworth maffia Mr Steve Nash,and a few of the other faces were familiar from the rimfire comps,conditions looked to be pretty good and some of the groups shot at 200mtr's reflected that,I missed the 100mtrs as I arrived to late.
I will let Steve post the updates as I dont have a clue who was placed where.



Regards Chris.

Keith Highfield .1642 (pending Aust. record) + (pending small group record .047")
Morrie Williams .1880

Grand Agg

Morrie Williams .2447 (also shot a .193 screamer at 200)

I was the only AusVarmint member there...I was 5th @ 100....13th @ 200 & 9th in the Grand.

Chris was there checking it all out but wasn't shooting.

The Newcastle boys were few and far between Kenny...only Trev and Keith are here.

Conditions at 100 were the best I've seen but the winds came up for 200 and made it fairly sporting.

Kenny whats that old saying..........................Oh yeah....next year ,look out then ,Steve most likely would have done better in the LV 200mtr if...................................................................I wasn't there annoying him .Steve it was good to meet and as has been the trend so far you meet some good people in the shooting sports and Steve is another one of them.
Kenny all I gotta do is get the rifle cracking and get a bit of coin together and get out there and have a go.........whoo hoo bring on next year ,actually bring on the rimfire this year .......this will end in tears............................and a cheap rifle for someone Im sure .

Regards Chris.

Stevo,

Not such a bad result after all for yourself But jeez there's some daylight between the aggs.

Great to see Richard up the pointy end....he seems to have finally got it all together. Has he chucked that VV shit out and gone with the aussie made product ....?

Chris...good to see you were doing my usual job of annoying people....

Kenny,

If you had been there no doubt you would have been up there...there were flags on all benches but the ones on my rotation all weekend weren't moving when the others were so after a while you worked out why you turned a low 1 into a mid 3 by looking at your flags and not the lot.

Richard shot his Stolle all weekend....the Viper is getting re-built...that might have been a good thing...not sure what powder he was using...the Armidale crowd were on fire at 100 all weekend...hope they don't learn how to shoot 200 to soon

Mark and Mitchell had there new rifle there shooting it's first comp and at 100 they were on fire....Mitch shot well at 200 and gave a lot of people a fair flogging...the old fella didn't quite come to terms with the conditions but look out when Mitch gets a handle on it...he beat me in the grand so we are going to have a re-match at Gunnedah next time with me shooting my Remington.

Even though he didn't shoot it was good to meet Chris otherwise I would have had to bag the shit out of him...he better get that Viper up and running so we can give that fancy rifle a shooting lesson

Get your Fly rifle back together and get here in October so we can hopefully gang up on Flinstone if he comes out to shoot....I did some load development with the 30-284 and its looking good...just need to get the seating depth worked out...I think I've found the right powder charge.

Steve

Steven,

October October....hmmmm hope you aint talking long weekend...I have a wedding in Orange that weekend

It's great to see young Mitchell going hard.....I hope he stays keen...definatelly got the skills that boy
